Philosophy:

I really enjoyed studying Philosophy while I was in school. I felt like I was able to examine all the really important questions in life about morality, truth, justice etc. and decide them on my own. That being said, I would not major in it if I could go back. All my philosophy major friends went on to Law schools, but I didn't want to. I've been unemployed for 9 months and had to move back in with my parents. After sending out 20 resumes and cover letters I've not gotten a single interview.

Christian Studies:

Religious Studies provides an excellent insight into the ways beliefs can inform choices on the micro scale, and how societal norms can affect the way groups interact on a macro scale. By investigating systems of beliefs and the decisions that stem from these system, the Religious Studies student is better able to analyze a situation where there are groups at odds with each other and understand which beliefs are most directly related to the conflict.
The major drawback of Religious Studies is that on its own, it provides very specific training for the further investigation of religion in an academic setting. However, in conjunction with another discipline such as economics or politics, it allows the student to have sharper insight to the underlying mechanics of dynamic social situations.

Philosophy:

I feel that philosophy is a major that cannot be recommended persay, but that many who enter into philosophy all ready have their reasons for being there. If I started over again I would most likely skip it in lieu of something more action-oriented, possibly the art of flower arranging. The pros of having this major is that you can roast just about anyone by breaking down their arguments into symbolic logic and working the propositions out on a truth table. The cons of this major are that I now pump gas for a living.
